Ingredients
  

For the Pumpkin Bread
  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin purée not pumpkin pie filling
  • 0.5 cup buttermilk
For the Streusel Topping
  • 0.33 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.33 cup brown sugar
  • 0.25 cup rolled oats
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the oil, eggs, pumpkin purée, and buttermilk until well combined. Gently fold this mixture into the dry ingredients, taking care not to over-mix.
  4. In another bowl, combine the streusel topping ingredients.
  5. Pour the pumpkin batter into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes.
  2. Once done, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

Notes

Make sure to use pure pumpkin purée, not the spiced pie filling; it’s definitely a game-changer for flavor.
Wrap any leftovers (if there are any!) tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store them at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the loaf for up to 3 months—just be sure to wrap it tightly. You can add nuts or chocolate chips for variations.
